Month: February 2016

I’m going to make this a very short Motivational Monday post. Quit waiting. Quit waiting. There is no perfect time to start. There is no perfect reason to start. Whatever your dream or goal is, the time is today. The reason is because you want to!

Do you want to train in martial arts? Quit waiting. There is a way for you to do it. Trust me. There is a way! Don’t believe me, you are more than welcome to message/email me and I will personally talk to you about it! You want to get fit? Same thing. I talk to so many people who like to talk about my fighting career and say they always wanted to do martial arts, it just never happened. Same thing with fitness, couple that are friends of ours always talk about the shape we are in at our age. “We’d love to work out but…..” Blah blah, whatever reason. Start! Start today. Email me an we will talk.

It’s the same with building a business. You can talk forever but nothing will happen until you take action. Take the starter step today. Even if you don’t have a clue, talking to an expert about it is the first step. Take the first step. Reach out today. Take the Step. Already in motion but not sure how to progress? Talk to somebody. Take that action today. Right now. Need help in marketing, PR or social ads? Reach out. Love to help you. Start that conversation today and see where you can go. You have to make that first move though. Thinking about traveling? Love it. Travel all the time. Luxe and budget. Let’s talk. I have loads of connections.
If you need personal coaching and training, you’ve entered my world. Need ideas for marketing or promotion for your brand/product? Transcend Digital Media can help with that as well. Whether you need training or thoughts for the ring or help from our digital company, reach out today. Do it, and if you just need somebody to say let’s go then email me. Emailing me is free.

Let me just say that I and my family love Branson. I know that as a guy who does reviews of places like Wynn in Vegas that it doesn’t seem right. It is. I’ve been going there since my oldest child was a toddler. Actually before that. When I was young in the mid 70s we were through there staying at other places in the Ozarks. I will be doing multiple pieces on this place and showing the entire area over time. These pictures are actually of a very small part and taken while we were there for a dance event with our daughter. Yes my daughter who was a 2time national champ in sport karate also won numerous national titles in dance. Today she teaches and choreographs as well as goes to college. Enjoy this area and short piece and whet your appetite for an informative budget travel series coming soon.

The very cool and historic Scenic railroad. Shot from the walkway along the Hilton and Branson Convention center. The railroad and tourist part of that scene have been there long before Branson Landing and The Hilton there were built. The area and train are old. The hotel and mall are new. Perfect mix. Most of the next pictures are from this area as the convention center was where we were for dance. I’ll explain a bit about the area at the end. Very different than when we started going there regularly in the early 90s.

So this area of Branson Missouri is a mix. It’s both the oldest part of town and the area that the newest
And most modern hotels and restaurants have come. Still you can walk a block away and feel like you are a century back. Did I mention I love Branson? I travel the world and spend tons of time on places like Manhattan but I love Branson and Gatlinburg. Truly where I want to be!!!!! If you are a merchant in this area, contact us. I would rather promo your tiny motel than the big boys. Let’s go!!!!!!

Just a few in the continuing series of random walk and talk pics. Take a minute and enjoy the view and captions. Nice way to relax and learn a bit about an area.

This was sitting in one of the shops in the walkway between Wynn and Encore. Coll place to walk and have coffee or a cocktail without leaving the complex. No worries didn't check how much it was lolSome day i will do an entire piece on why this is important to me. For now lets just say before pro fighting and Wall Street was my love of literature. Its where the adventure began!Did i mention that im fighter who writes and takes pictures lol. Not a pro photographer. I take what i like and see. Love all the walkways across the strip. Great to watch the cars go by. And crazy peopleThe beautiful Lake of Dreams at Wynn. Great to look out your window and see or from the show terrace like this pic. My wife and i grabbed a cocktail and stood there to watch as the temp drooped and wind hit and 11pm. Romantic,beautiful and simply funThe Lake again, changing colors and animatronic figures coming out of the water. Look this up, you'll be amazed

Ok what can i say. Always a little #pr and coffee ! Having a sip and looking down at the pool complex at WynnSo many great fountains around the Venetian and the Palazzo. Truly feels like you are in Italy at times. Go in the morning. Get coffee and just walk. Not many around and the back walks when deserted feel like old Europe

A quick selfie with my wife by the Lake of Dreams. Yes we have obviously drank waaay too much, and seems like had a huge meal that night as well. Im a fortunate man hanging out in a beautiful place. Thanks Wynn resort and casino
